That's already happening. For years (and until recently) we could not access USA's "Showtime" cable channel from Canada. A message would appear to the user stating the site is unavailable outside of the USA and it nicely refused entrance. A similar example, if you try to access USA's "Comedy Central" from within Canada you are redirected to Canada's "Comedy Network". That is new in the past half year or so.

Showtime is not being altered or blocked .... Showtime is not accepting ip addresses where the geolocation is outside the United States.
